I have an Eufy named Goofy. He’s an early model but works fine, except sometimes he locks himself in the bathroom.

Oh yeah, I bought a cheap machine pre-2000 and it’s paid for itself several times over just making boat canvas and doing sail repairs.

I bought a cheap 3d printer years ago and I’m pretty sure it’s paid for itself just making replacement parts for our dishwasher. Probably paid for itself several times over if I add up the price+shipping of all the other miscellaneous repair parts it’s made.

I play Skyrim SE on Linux (Via Steam) and currently have about 30 mods on it, and it runs fine. I have run Oblivion Remastered (no mods) and have experienced occasional crashes, but it is at least playable.

Not a problem for me. All the software I need is either available as native Linux or runs ok under Wine.

I’m ready to ditch Windows entirely at this point. I just need to find the best way to do that, without having to rebuild the Linux side of my dual boot PC.
